R. BUCKLEY Plant Research Institute Easy upkeep of a _ garden begins with the plan itself, This is something that should be con- sidered now by all who are faced this spring with landscap- ing a new lot or relandscaping an existing house. First make a sketch of the floor plan of the house and sur- rounding area and mark on it all existing features such as trees, shrubs, grade changes and sidewalks. Then make rough circles where each area such as playgrounds, service area, borders, lawns, patios and vegetable garden are to be located. Then as the plan takes shape, decide what you really need, whether your garden is to be a hobby or merely a place to provide the maximum.beauty with minimum maintenance. Most"amatcur--landseanere forget about maintenance prob- lems that are likely to accrue from some of the more grandi- ose plans, such as circles, steps, walks and patios, when they are not planned .correctly. Here are 15 steps to easy maintenance _ to remember when making plans and when building or rebuilding your gar- den. 1. Eliminate repented, BEATTY HAULAGE SAND GRAVEL LOAM TRENCHING EXCAVATING BACK FILLING ~ LOTS LEVELLED 725-2156 344 Pine Ave. Oshewe sharp corners from your plans and substitute gentle curves or informal lines, This will be appreciated when mowing the lewn for then the unnecessary push and pull at corners and other hard-to-get-at places will be avoided. 2. Avoid the necessity of mow- ing around trees by the use of ground covers, gravel or blue- stone kept in bounds by circular mowing strips. These ground covers will allow easy operation of the mower around trees be- cause pendulous branches will not interfere with the operation and it will not be necessary to prune the tree high enough for easy mowing. $. All paved areas should be flush with the lawn so that equipment may be. transferrea freely from one place to an- other. 4. Use ~brick mowing strips along Curving ana-at-tnc-cdge of lawns thus removing the need for clipoing yet maintain- ing a neat edge. GROUND COVER 5. Use ground covers such as pachysandra, vinca, bearberry, creeping jennie and low-grow- ing junipers in .all difficult-to- mow locations and on all steep slopes. For shady areas use pachysandra, vinca or creeping DO IT jennie. For sunny places use bearberry or any of the ram- pant creeping rock-garden plants such as snow-in-summer, arabis, alyssum, draba and moss-pink. 6. Use mulches freely to keep down weeks and to conserve moisture. Some- mulches such as cocoashells, buckwheat hulls and peatmoss will also provide interesting backgrounds for the plants. 7. Use low - maintenance hedge plants such as_ yews, cedars, alpine, currants and cotoneaster plants, which _re- quire pruning not more than twice a year. 8. Install floodiights and other garden lighting to prolong the length of day and to add inter- est to your outdoor living room at night. 9. Provide free movement from one area. to.another and from one level to another by the use of grass and ramps. 10. Elevate high-maintenance planting beds tor easy care; group those plants requiring more maintenance together in one bed and use fewer varieties and larger masses. 11. Install an underground watering system. This will elim- inate time - consuming hose changing and provide a more NOW!

Provide accessible easy storage for tools so as to have them at hand at all times. The storage area should be large enough to accommodate all equipment necessary to main- tain the grounds. OUTLETS 13. Plan convenient outlets for electricity and water. Fifty feet should be a maximum hose length for watering or for elec- tric cord for use with mowers or lawn lights. 14. Pave areas where foot traffic is heavy and provide walks that are wide enough for power equipment. 15. Choose "clean" trees for planting on lawns. Avoid those that shed their leaves in sum- mer (Manitoba maple or box- elder), those that produce seeds which litter the lawn and plants in spring (poplars, Manitoba maples, or elms), and trees that shed twigs in the fall and winter (willows, and lombardy poplars). comply with the National Building Code of Canada, and are obtainable by return mail.
